Fifty Days of Solitude

Faced with a rare opportunity to experiment with solitude, Doris Grumbach decided to live in her coastal Maine home without speaking to anyone for fifty days. The result is a beautiful meditation about what it means to write, to be alone, and to come to terms with mortality.

Decent quick read.
Reminded me a bit of Tuesday's With Morrie, and a bit of Walden.
Really focused on art, and writing, with not much mentioned toward the book itself (which was unexpected).
More a summary of observations during solitude, recording things and deliveries from family and friends.
